We have visitors who are from Canada and want to take them to Baja. They have asked that I find out if they need a visa. I don't think so, but want
to check to see what you guys say. Thanks!Oso - 11-2-2009 at 04:42 PM
Not if you stay above Maneadero and less than 72 hours. In practice, most of the time nobody asks until you get to Guerrero Negro (and there's a way
around that). BUT, things may have changed. Recently we've had long lines of cars going INTO Mexico here in San Luis as the Mexican Gov't is
inspecting more for guns and large amounts of cash.Packoderm - 11-2-2009 at 04:51 PM
They don't need a visa in the sense of needing a visa to visit China or India. All they would have to do is stop at the border, fill out a small form
and pay about $20.00 U.S. for a multi-month visa.DENNIS - 11-2-2009 at 04:57 PM
They should know what they'll need to get back into the states. I don't.Bajagypsy - 11-2-2009 at 05:05 PM
as long as they have a passport, and get the tourist visa at the mexican border. This Canadian girl does it all the time! I believe that you don't
need a visa if you are staying only a short (like 48 hour's or maybe more) period of time.DENNIS - 11-2-2009 at 05:18 PM

It's one week in the "Free Zone." It changed some years back.
I'm assuming from Ronni's post that they would stay within this zone.grace59 - 11-2-2009 at 06:19 PM
You do not need an FMT (tourist visa) if you are going into Baja less than a week and staying in the free zone which on the Sea of Cortez side extends
down to and includes San Felipe. Not sure where the line is on the Pacific side.DENNIS - 11-2-2009 at 07:08 PM

Maneadero, "The Oasis of Baja Norte." [ oh yeah...not supposed to say Norte. Shame on me ]SDRonni - 11-2-2009 at 07:59 PM
